Secret jewel

the long version

OUT OF THE MISTS OF LEGEND... He came to her as she slept, slipping into her bed like a shadowy phantom--tempting her with kisses, tantalizing her senses with desire, and promising more... Autumn Meaux had lost much in her young life--her three sisters, her castle, and the precious Windrush Jewel that alone would restore her royal station. Now the fragile, orphaned beauty was venturing across medieval England in a perilous journey to claim all that was rightfully hers... A dangerous deception would bring Autumn face to face with the mysterious man of her dreams--the Baron-knight Fulcan Salisbury, haunted by his own sinful secrets and seething passions. And as dark desire ignited in his embrace, Autumn found herself a pawn in a plot that could bring down a throne...even as it bound two hearts forever in one breathless destiny.
